Based on the ship drawn in the original Elite Manual and modelled by me for Oolite.
This turned out pretty good. Five pieces: the forward cone, the rear block, the engine scoop, engine outlet, and base stand. Final dimensions: 10cm long x 5.5cm high (on stand, 4cm off the stand) x 3.6cm wide.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.
